The Devil’s Long Game Across America
Michael Poore places John Scratch—the Devil—in the central role of a contemporary fantasy shaped by his efforts to push, provoke, and manipulate America. His larger aim is personal: to draw a lost love from Heaven back to Earth. The setup joins occult material with an irreverent, comic premise, using the Prince of Darkness as an antihero rather than a distant symbol of evil. Beneath the supernatural mischief, the book’s stated stakes rest on devotion, separation, and the possibility of a damaged heart.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Adults interested in contemporary fantasy with occult elements
- Readers who enjoy comic, offbeat takes on supernatural figures
- Fans of antihero-centered fiction with a romantic premise

"The sustained comedy in this hilarious novel is equaled only by its heart, and the myriad ways there are for it to break. I love this book. Michael Poore writes like an angel."
--Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish
John Scratch, the Devil himself, is the protagonist in this stunningly imaginative, sharp, funny, and tender novel, as he tricks, teases, and prods America to greatness in the hope of luring his lost love back down to Earth from Heaven. Up Pops the Devil is fiction with humor and heart, the kind of hilarious, off-beat, and original reading experience that fans of Chris Moore, Joe Hill, Chuck Palahniuk, and Jim Shepard would sell their souls for--a brilliant blending of the occult and the outrageous starring the anti-hero of anti-heroes, the one and only Prince of Darkness.
